1979, Steve Ivy Numismatic Auctions, Inc.
Dear Customer and Friend:
Welcome to the William C. Kerr Auction. There is special excitement
about this auction, because it represents our firm’s tenth sale to be
conducted since our inception almost three years ago.
The Kerr Collection is highlighted by an array of early U.S. $20 gold
pieces, both Type I, and Type II, an attractive selection of Early Bust and
Seated Liberty Half Dimes, and virtually a complete year set of Early Half
Dollars from 1794 through 1891. Altogether, some 75 different consignors are
included in this sale.
The Kerr Collection spans two decades of numismatic endeavors. In many
areas, you will find considerable duplication for your choosing. Many coins,
such as the 1860 Half Dime, were held in abundance by Mr. Kerr, while on a
more contemporary note, he assembled 10 uncirculated Franklin Half Dollar
Sets.
Several of the coins in this sale represent condition census pieces.
Among these are Lot 1, the rare and scarce 1776 Continental Dollar struck in
pewter. This particular example is Choice BU (60 + ) and is certainly among
the finest known. A second outstanding coin in Mr. Kerr’s collection is his
1836 $5 gold piece in Gem BU (65 + ), which is just one of several early gold
type coins that he possesses. Most of these coins were purchased in the
late 1950’s, when Mr. Kerr was first getting started with his collection.
Every effort has been made to catalogue each lot as accurately as
possible. When a coin is catalogued with a description “hairlined”, that is
exactly what we mean. We have found that by describing our coins as
accurately as possible, it is to everyone’s advantage.
Should you be a first-time bidder, we refer you to the two sections,
Bidding in an Unreserved Auction, and Terms of Sale. Should you have any
questions concerning this sale, do not hesitate to give any member of our
staff a call. Good luck to all!
Sincerely,
Auction Director

ii
Bidding In Unreserved Auction
In an unreserved auction, there are no hold or reserve bids on any lots Each lot is sold to the highest
bidder.
In bidding by mail, it is possible to purchase a coin at a price less than your maximum bid The following
is an explanation of the mail bid procedures followed by this company:
Bids are recorded as they are received At the close of mail bidding, the highest and second
highest bids are transferred to the bid book
On the floor of the auction, bidding is opened at 5 to 10% above the second highest mail
bid. This bid is submitted by our company acting on behalf of the highest mail bidder If the auc¬
tioneer recognizes no other bids from the floor, the highest mail bidder is awarded the lot at the
opening bid If bidding proceeds from the floor, the company, acting as the mail bidder's agent,
registers bids in 5 to 10% increments over the previous bid This process is continued until the
mail bidder is awarded the lot, or the next bid is higher than the mail bidder's maximum bid
An example of this procedure is set forth under these conditions:
On lot 25, highest mail bidder submits a bid of $100, second highest mail bid is at $50 In
this case, bidding on the floor starts at $55, and is bid by our company on behalf of the highest
mail bidder. If no other bids are submitted by the floor, the highest mail bidder, who bid $100,
has purchased the lot for $55. If other bids come from the floor, we bid for the highest mail bid
der in 5 — 10% increments, as set by the auctioneer, until we reach the mail bidder's maximum
bid of $100 Since bidding has passed the mail bidder's maximum, we take no other action, and
the bidding continues on the floor until the final purchaser has been recognized by the auc¬
tioneer
Using this procedure, the mail bidder retains many of the advantages of the floor bidder.
As outlined above, it is clear to see that coins can be purchased at a price less than the maximum
mail bid This method of bidding for mail bidders is followed in this and all of our auctions
Quantitative Grading
The quantitative grading system is utilized in describing and grading all coins in
this catalog. The quantitative grade will be used in conjunction with the traditional
letter grade in order to best describe the condition of the coin
On occasion, we will use a plus( + ) to designate that a given coin is somewhat
better than the quantitative listed grade, but not nice enough to qualify for the next
highest number An example would be a 45 + grade which would be the equivalent to
EF/AU.

How to use CompuBid
The newest advancement in mail bidding techniques
WHAT
CompuBid is a new method of mail bidding developed exclusively by
Steve Ivy Numismatic Auctions for their mail bidders. CompuBid allows
you, the mail bidder, almost all of the advantages usually held by the
floor bidder. Now, as a CompuBid mail bidder, you can bid on as
many lots as you desire, yet limit your purchases to your budgeted
amount. It is just as if you were attending the auction in person.
WHY
CompuBid was created as an alternative to our conventional mail
bidding system, which we still offer. CompuBid was developed to solve
these typical problems facing the mail bidder (a) you can bid on exactly
what you want to buy although you would probably purchase less than
you wanted, (b) in an effort to spend what you want, you can bid on
more than you have budgeted but run the risk of over-purchase, (c) you
can attend the auction in person and stop bidding when you reach your
limit. With CompuBid, you can bid on the coins you desire, but limit
your purchases to your maximum amount.
HOW
CompuBid is very simple to use. Just fill our your bid sheet in the usual
manner except you list your buying limit (because of the increased
accounting necessary, the minimum buying limit is $200.00).
Here's how to fill out one of our bid sheets:
1. Name, Address, City, State, Zip and Telephone Number.
Your address is needed to mail your successful purchases. Your
telephone number is needed so that we may instantly communicate any
problems or changes that may affect your bids.
2. References
If you have not established credit with us from previous auctions, you
must sent a 25% deposit, or list coin dealers with whom you have credit
established.
3. Lot Numbers and Bids
List all the lots you desire to purchase under the column headed "Lots".
The reverse side of your bid sheet has additional columns, and you may
also use a separate sheet. Under the heading "Amounts", enter the
maximum amount you would be willing to pay for that lot (whole
dollar amounts only). We will purchase the coin for you as much below
your bid as possible.
4. Total Bid Sheet
Add up all of the bids and list that total in the appropriate box.
5. Indicate Your Limit
After you have totaled your bid sheet, determine how much you can
budget to spend. Check the box for CompuBid, and list your spending
limit.
6. Sign Your Bid Sheet
Your bid sheet is now complete and needs only your signature. By
signing the bid sheet, you have agreed to abide by the Terms of Sale
listed in the auction catalog.

All photogi aphs are of the actual coins offered for sale. So that you may have
the best possible reproductions on which to base your bids, we have provided
twelve color plates for your inspection and enjoyment. The color plates are
located on pages 10, 11, 14, 15, 18, 22, 26, 34, 35, 42, 43, and 55.
COLONIALS
1 1776 Continental Dollar CHOICE BRILLIANT UN¬
CIRCULATED (60 + ) Pewter. “CONTINENTAL
CURRENCY”, with “EG FECIT”. Exceptionally
bright and lustrous. The Guide Book indicates on page
thirty that “Pewter coins in original bright uncirculated
condition are worth an additional premium”. They list
this variety in “Unc.” at $9,500.00. There are a few
spots on the otherwise excellent surfaces, however. The
most noticeable one just about covers the sun on the
obverse. Around two of the other spots on the obverse,
and one on the chain on the reverse, there is evidence of
light rubbing, no doubt made in an attempt to remove
or at least diminish, the spots. This rubbing does little to
the overall appearance of this outstanding specimen,
and should detract only slightly from its value. It is men¬
tioned only because a coin of such significant
numismatic and historical importance should be
meticulously described. There are no edge bumps or sur¬
face marks. The strike is superior to most others seen.
This is the first mint state example of a Continental
Dollar that we have had the privilege to offer. Since
many numismatists feel that the entire Colonial series is
on the verge of a strong upward movement in popular¬
ity, this coin should attract considerable attention, and
could prove to be a timely investment, (see color photo)
2 1781 North American Token FINE/VERY FINE (15 + )
3 1783 Washington Piece FINE (12) UNITY STATES. A
few light edge bumps. The lettering is weak near the
rims.
4 1787 Fugio ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (50) Pointed
Rays. “STATES UNITED” at sides of circle. Pleasant
surfaces, (see color photo)
HALF CENTS
5 1794 VERY GOOD/FINE (10 + ) Quite dark, with
porous surfaces.
6 1794 VERY FINE (30) Pleasing brown planchet, much
above average quality. The sharp hair detail indicates a
better grade, but some small surface marks prevent a
higher classification. A nice coin for type.
7 1804 Plain 4 Stemless RED AND BROWN UNCIR¬
CULATED (60) Light brown, with splashes of mint red
clinging to the lettering and devices. Sharply detailed for
the type. Particularly pleasing, (see color photo)
Jage 2
8 1833 ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (50)
9 1 836 CHOICE PROOF (60 + ) Original, with the reverse
of 1809-1836. The obverse is about 25% red, the reverse
about 75%. Although listed as a proof-only issue, many
characteristics of this coin are suggestive of a business
strike, especially the obverse. Thus it would fit nicely
into a collection of mint state Half Cents. Infrequently
offered, and sure to attract much notice, (see color
photo)
10 1850 EXTREMELY FINE/ALMOST UNCIRCULAT¬
ED (45 + ) Buffed in the obverse fields.
11 1851 EXTREMELY FINE/ALMOST UNCIRCULAT¬

12 1853 CHOICE BROWN UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Glossy.
13 1855 RED AND BROWN UNCIRCULATED (60)
LARGE CENTS
14 1793 Wreath ABOUT GOOD (3) Lettered edge. Legible
date; full “Liberty”. Other than some old digs on the
portrait’s face, an undamaged, evenly worn filler.
15 1820 GEM RED AND BROWN UNCIRCULATED
(65) Razor-sharp strike. Mellowed mint red blended
with chocolate brown. A die crack connects all four
digits of the date and all thirteen stars. A handsome ex¬
ample, courtesy of the Randall Hoard, (see color photo)
16 1838 EXTREMELY FINE/ALMOST UNCIRCULAT¬
ED (45 + ) Actually quite close to mint state, but there
are some light scratches around the date, and the sur¬
faces have been lightly cleaned.
17 1851 RED AND BROWN UNCIRCULATED (60)
Flatly struck stars. Pleasing in overall appearance.
18 1852 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Glorious original mint color on semi-prooflike
surfaces. A shallow dent on the top of the “N” in
“ONE” on the reverse is the only locatable detraction.
Similar specimens, though rarely traded, have brought
between six and eight hundred dollars, (see color photo)

Large Cents (cont'd)
19 1853 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Booming mint red. A premier type coin, (see
color photo)
20 1853 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Another glorious, full color example. Few
numismatic auctions have a single superb, full red Large
Cent. We are fortunate to offer several, (see color
photo)
21 1856 CHOICE BROWN UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Lustrous and sharp, although most of the stars do not
show full centers.
22 1857 Small Date CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULAT¬
ED (55) Sharp, with some mint red. Several tiny rim
nicks.
FLYING EAGLE CENTS
23 1857 ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (50) Lustrous and
sharp.
24 1857 UNCIRCULATED (60) Impressively sharp;
depressingly dull.
25 1857 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Exceptionally well struck and abundantly lustrous.
Easily a gem were it not for a few scattered speckles.
26 1858 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Copper-nickel Cents are very seldom seen with
any appreciable natural toning. Their rather bland color
precludes the existence of many coins with that intan¬
gible quality of “character”. But here is an exception!
The touch of russet toning, when added to the splendid
surfaces, strike, and luster, creates a type coin that any
collector would be proud to add to his collection, (see
color photo)
INDIAN HEAD CENTS
27 1859 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Fully struck, with nice luster and color. A tiny surface
nick or two away from the Gem category.
28 1860 CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55)
29 1862 ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (50)
30 1862 BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) Struck
from slightly rotated dies.
31 1863 BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) Off-color
reverse.
32 1863 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Sharp, with a partial wire rim.
33 1864 Copper-Nickel GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCU¬
LATED (65) Scarce and undervalued date.
34 1864 Copper-Nickel GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCU¬
LATED (65 + ) Superb! Gleaming, somewhat prooflike
surfaces. Seldom seen this nice, (see color photo)
1864 L GOOD (6) About 20% off-center. An unusual
and interesting error.
36 Ln64 L CHolcE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60+) Sharp with one of the most vivid “L’s” we’ve
seen, (see color photo)
37 1864 Bronze GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(65 + ) Superb! Full strike and complete original red.
38 1866 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Quite sharp.
39 1866 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Full
original color. Totally struck up. (see color photo)
40 1866 GEM PROOF (65) Nearly superb! Light, attrac¬
tive toning. As common date Indians in Proof have
been moving upward in price, scarce dates have re¬
mained relatively static. Some price adjustment is over¬
due. (see color photo)
41 1867 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Ex¬
tremely sharp. Iridescent toning, (see color photo)
42 1869/68 EXTREMELY FINE/ALMOST UNCIRCU¬
LATED (45 + ) Obviously cleaned
43 1870 GEM PROOF (65) Fully brilliant, (see color
photo)
44 1871 GEM PROOF (65 + ) Superb! Tremendously
undervalued in this ultimate condition. This absolutely
spotless example is a candidate for the finest known.
Sure to satisfy even the most fastidious collector, (see
color photo)
45 1874 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
46 1874 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Heartwarming color and immaculate surfaces.
Supremely well struck. A prize! (see color photo)
47 1874 GEM PROOF (65 + ) Superb! One of the rarest
Indians in superb proof condition. Copper coins of this
quality seem to be rapidly disappearing from the
market. This opportunity should not be missed by the

53 1878 GEM PROOF (65) Nice and natural.
54 1878 GEM PROOF (65) Another outstanding, original
Indian. The extra lump of metal on the right serif of the
letter “T” on the reverse is diagnostic of a reverse die
used to strike some, but not all, proof Indians from
1873 to 1878. (see color photo)
55 1879 GEM PROOF (65 + ) Superb! A dazzling beauty
that should garner many respectable bids.

127 1864 Small Motto GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULAT¬
ED (65 + ) Superb! From our August, 1976, Gateway

One of the nicest Two Cent Pieces we have ever seen, let
alone a small motto. 100% fully struck. Truly a superb
coin and worth a premium bid.” (see color photo)

tremely tough in proof, (see color photo)
132 1865 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)

original mint brilliance adorned with light, character¬

a premier type set. (see color photo)
134 1866 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)

Cent Pieces ever come. The tiny edge cud (as made) on

or grade, (see color photo)

Rich and lovely surfaces, with broad bands of mint red
traversing mellowed chocolate brown. Worthy of a
premium bid.
138 1871 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
About eighty percent mint red. Scarce.
139 1872 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Ab¬
solutely no proof surfaces whatsoever. In the last five
years, a great deal has been learned about the rarity and
desirability of various issues (e.g. Three Cent Nickels in
the 1880’s, Seated Half Dimes in the 1860’s, etc.) that
are relatively common in proof condition but scarce or
rare as business strikes. Once the psychological barrier
of paying more for an “Unc” than for a “Proof” of the
same date was broken, a veritable flood of information
emerged! Now that the market has evolved to a more
sophisticated level, the true rarity of some business
strikes versus proofs can be accurately measured. Of the
several dozen different issues in this category, it seems
that the 1872 Two Cent Piece is among the front run¬
ners, both in terms of rarity and desirability. Many
Proofs have been offered as business strikes in the past.
This factor has surely held the price of a true business
strike down. What makes this particular coin so
desirable is its unquestionable non-proof status. It will
be interesting to see the value established for this rarity.
A four figure bid will probably be necessary to acquire
it. (see color photo)

a challenging series, (see color photo)
337 1918 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
338 1918-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Full strike! Full hair and a split tail. Not often does such
a comprehensive offering of gem mint-marked Buffalos
in the ‘teens’ go under the block. For the finest set. (see
color photo)
339 1919 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
340 1919 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
341 1920-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Vastly superior to most seen of this date. Understand¬
ably regarded by many as the most difficult Denver coin
of the series (excluding the overdate). This pleasing
specimen is well struck and has excellent surfaces. It
may be impossible to find its equal for quite some time.
The serious collector should not let this opportunity
evade him. (see color photo)
342 1921 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Semi¬
prooflike and well struck; very attractive.
343 1923-S BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) An essen¬

(60 + ) Typical mushy obverse; however, the reverse is
above average. Highly lustrous, (see color photo)
347 1925-D Full Strike GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCU¬
LATED (65 + ) Superb! Outstanding strike and luster.
Truly a rare chance for the specialist, (see color photo)
348 1925-S CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) A good strike, a quality which is most elusive for
this notoriously weak issue. Toned nicely as well. Would
complement any gem collection, and will surely require
a bid very near a gem’s price, (see color photo)
349 1926 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
350 1926-D CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Although not fully struck, definitely above
average, with a full horn. Booming luster and immacu¬
late surfaces, (see color photo)
351 1926-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Full strike! Incredible quality. From our Great
Southwest Sale (December, 1976) at $775.00. Worth

352 1931-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
353 1931-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! One hundred percent fully struck, and quite an
underrated coin as such.
354 1931-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Fully struck, (see color photo)
355 1937 CHOICE PROOF (60 + ) Fully brilliant and no
hairlines. A few opaque, rusty spots are all that prohibit
a gem grade, (see color photo)
356 1937 GEM PROOF (65) Perennially popular, (see color
photo)
357 1938-D/D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Doubled mintmark.
EARLY DIME
358 1825 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Light
golden toning on impeccable, defect free surfaces. A
slight softness of strike on the right side of the eagle’s
neck. An ideal type coin, and an underrated date as
well, (see color photo)
LIBERTY SEATED DIMES
359 1838-0 No Stars FINE/VERY FINE (15 + ) Deeply
toned obverse.
360 1838 Large Stars EXTREMELY FINE/ALMOST UN¬

Prooflike.
368 1860-0 VERY GOOD (8) The scarcity of this date has
been highly publicized.
369 1860-S ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (50) Cleaned, but
nonetheless a condition census coin.
370 1861 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Full
strike.

has been dulled by dense hairlines. Artificially toned.

373 1865 VERY FINE (30) Brown toning. Scarce in this
grade.
374 1865 CHOICE PROOF (60 + ) Not quite in full proof
brilliance. Attractively toned.

violet and blue toning, (see color photo)

379 1878 PROOF (60) Attractive, with multicolored toning,
but a dull area on the right side of the obverse prevents a
higher classification.

of any noticeable injuries. Popular with collectors and
investors.
381 1879 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)

toned. Light scuffiness in the fields.

Superb! Lovely, light lavender toning, (see color photo)
389 1 887 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )

cent of golden toning on the obverse.
393 1888 CHOICE PROOF (60 + ) Nicely toned, (see color
photo)
394 1888 GEM PROOF (65) Magnificent brilliance and
color. The slight softness of strike on the Seated

beauty, (see color photo)
395 1889 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Even,
attractive toning upon immaculate surfaces. Excellent
for type, (see color photo)
396 1891 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
397 1891-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Amazingly lustrous. A scarce date, but worth more of a
premium due to its superior quality, (see color photo)
BARBER DIMES
398 1892 BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) Violet ton¬
ing.
399 1892-S CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55)
Ultra-fine brushmarks across the obverse.
400 1892-S CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55 + )
A touch of rub away from mint state.
401 1893-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Lustrous and pleasing in all respects. Although not
nearly as expensive as some other mintmarked Barber
Dimes in the 1890’s, this date is deceptively difficult to
locate. The quality conscious collector need look no
further! (see color photo)
402 1894 GEM PROOF (65 + ) Superb! A hair’s breadth
away from perfection. A simply spectacular coin with
runaway potential, (see color photo)
403 1895-S CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55 + )

409 1901 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Blazing luster. The splashes of delicate golden
toning, coupled with the immaculate surfaces, make this
example eligible for a connoisseur’s collection, (see col¬
or photo)
410 1902 GEM PROOF (65) Virtually superb. Proof type
coins have received an increased amount of attention
during the last few months. High quality examples such
as this coin are becoming difficult to find, (see color
photo)
411 1902-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Shimmering prooflike surfaces. We did not think
it possible for a coin of this date and mint to be so fully
struck. Although not a gem (mainly because of a tiny
dig beneath the first A of AMERICA), this exceptional
example demands serious consideration from the collec¬
tor specializing in this series.

curving downward from the tenth star, (see color photo)
EARLY QUARTERS
489 1 804 EXTREMELY FINE (40) Formerly Lot 450 of our
Great Southwest Sale (December, 1976). Described
therein as : “A most pleasing example of this rare and
popular Early Bust Quarter. Very nice detail with vir¬
tually perfect surfaces ... An excellent opportunity for
the specialist.” The $1,500.00 it realized was a bargain

pearance over two years ago. (see color photo)

LATED (65 + ) Superb! Fully struck, with fantastic
mint luster. Never cleaned or dipped. Considering all
the positive qualities of this fabulous type coin, we can
unhesitatingly state that it is one of the Finest examples

“ALMOST UNCIRCULATED — 55 to 60, lightly

DA TE WE HA VE SEEN to date. A newly discovered
overdate, now listed in the Guide Book, but unpriced.”

510 1876 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )

(60 + ) Prooflike.

517 1881 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) In¬
jury free surfaces enhanced by attractive toning of
medium density. Popular with investors because of its
low mintage, (see color photo)
518 1881 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Nudges perfection. Flawless, pristine surfaces,
(see color photo)
519 1884 PROOF (60) An arm’s length gem that has been
needlessly hairlined in the Fields.
520 1885 BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) Very scarce
as a non-proof, (see color photo)
521 1886 EXTREMELY FINE (45) Scant mintage.
522 1888 CHOICE PROOF (60 + ) Trivial hairlines and flat
stars keep this coin out of the gem class.
523 1891 BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) Lacks suffi¬
cient luster to be called choice. Strictly mint state.
524 1891 GEM PROOF (65 + ) Superb! Breathtaking toning
on virginal surfaces. One of the prettiest proof type
coins we’ve ever seen! Strictly for the connoisseur, (see
color photo)

Well struck and fully brilliant. A few tiny nicks on the
obverse.

Nicely toned. The reverse is gem; the obverse nearly so.
528 1893 PROOF (60) Not in full proof brilliance.
529 1893-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Much above average strike. Highly lustrous, (see color

must be seen to be believed. A superior type coin with a
lot of potential, (see color photo)

unblemished. Gorgeous toning. An exciting opportunity
to own a coin of unsurpassable quality. Worthy of a

Superb! The third of a dazzling trio of Quarters bearing
the date 1894. This example is fully struck, including

Barber Quarters (cont'd)
535 1902-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) As
was the case with the Barber Dime of the same issue
earlier in this sale, the strike of this coin is exceptionally
sharp. Each star has full radial lines and centers; both
talons are well detailed. The specialist already knows
what a desirable trait this coin possesses, and should bid
accordingly, (see color photo)
536 1902-S CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) A lightly toned, virtual gem. Full stars.
537 1903-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED

543 1908 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) An
excellent type coin.
544 1908-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Vastly superior to most mint state examples seen. Fully
struck.
545 1908-D BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) Fully
lustrous and well struck. A few scant hairlines. Essen¬
tially choice.
546 1908-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) A
nice example of this better date. A higher quality
specimen is likely to be difficult to find or impossible to
afford, (see color photo)
547 1909 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Completely struck up. Glacier-smooth, satiny
surfaces. For the finest cabinet, (see color photo)
548 191 1-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) A
scarce and undervalued date, especially in this condi¬
tion. (see color photo)
549 191 3-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Well rounded cheek and full details except on the eagle’s
left talon. Void of noticeable marks — in fact, quite
close to superb, (see color photo)
550 1914 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) A
plethora of luster; very nice surfaces. Virtually superb,
(see color photo)
551 1914-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Just a hint of toning. Perfect for type, (see color photo)

563 1917-S Type 1 ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (50)
Unobtrusively cleaned.
564 1917-S Type 1 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED

satin-like surfaces. No noticeable marks or impair¬
ments. (see color photo)
565 1917-D Type 2 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(65) Virtually superb — it is certainly lustrous enough
and sufficiently free of injuries to qualify as such, (see
color photo)
566 1917-D Type 2 BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60)
Virtually Full Head.
567 1917-S Type 2 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(65) Pleasing surfaces and luster.
568 1917-S Type 2 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(65 + ) Superb! Full Head. One of the finest of this
underrated issue we’ve had the pleasure of cataloging,
(see color photo)
569 1918 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Full Head. Temptingly close to perfection.
570 1918-D CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55)
Nearly a Full Head.
571 1918-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Full Head, and one of the most highly respected
members of the series as such. We cannot recall seeing a
sharper specimen. The knowledgeable collector will sub¬
mit a generous bid. (see color photo)
572 1918-S BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) Full
Head.
573 1918-S CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED

Superb! Virtually Full Head. A splash of golden toning
engulfs the pedestal upon which the date rests. An
outstanding example, (see color photo)

Standing Liberty Quarters (cont'd)
575 1919-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Virtually flawless. A challenging issue to locate
in mint state, and prohibitively tough this nice. Sure to
attract much attention, (see color photo)
576 1920 BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) Full Head.
A touch of friction on the high points.
577 1920 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Wholly lustrous and original
578 1920 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Sharp, with a full shield and half head. Lovely
toning. Worthy of the finest collection, (see color
photo)
579 1920-D CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + )
580 1 920- S CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55 + )
581 1921 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) An
appealing example of this key date. Full shield and more
than half head. The booming luster is accented by light
golden toning. For an outstanding collection, (see color
photo)
582 1923 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Close to Full Head sharpness.
583 1923 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Virtually faultless.
584 1923-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Nicely struck, with a three-quarters head. Exceptionally
brilliant and lustrous. This coin and the other gems of
the Standing Liberty series offered herein give the enter¬
prising collector and the astute investor an unusual op¬
portunity to acquire exceptional coins. Early Twentieth
Century series such as this one will eventually be as diffi¬
cult to form as Nineteenth Century ones are today.
Someday, the 1916, 1921 and 1923-S Quarters may be
regarded (and priced) as the 1896-S, 1901-S and 1913-S
Barber Quarters are now! (see color photo)
585 1 924- D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Full Head, full rivets on the shield and a full
date. (To the newcomer to the series, it may sound
ludicrous to state that a full headed coin also has a full
date, but this particular issue is noted for often having
the upper portion of the date obliterated due to die
failure. Some of the precious few Full Head examples
we have seen have had only half of a date! Indeed, the
weakening die is in clear evidence on this piece — a
healthy die crack crosses all four numerals. Perhaps
within minutes after this very coin was struck, a piece of
metal above the crack fell away.) Light golden toning.
Surely among the sharpest of this issue in existence. The
amount of respect it demands from numismatists is
evidenced by a price of $1,750.00 paid for a Full Head
gem specimen in NERCA’s A.J. Amato Sale (July,
1978). That record price is endangered by this splendid
specimen, (see color photo)
586 1924-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Ninety percent Full Head, and thus about as sharp as is
practical to hope for. Nice luster and surfaces.
587 1925 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Full Head. A few tiny digs on Liberty’s waist.
588 1926 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Vir¬
tually Full Head. Pleasant toning.
589 1926 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Ex¬
cellent type coin. ’
590 1926 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Full
Head. Gorgeous, natural toning. Full, rounded con¬
tours. (see color photo)
591 1926-D BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) A few
light surface marks. Typical strike.
592 1926-D CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Similar to the preceding, but sharper.
593 1926-D CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Typical strike; highly lustrous.
594 1926-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) A
bona fide gem of this usually unexciting date.
595 1927 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Full
Head.
596 1927-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Vibrant luster. Slightly better date.
597 1928-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Totally original.
598 1928-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
599 1928-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
High quality type coins such as this piece should have a
bright future.
600 1929 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Full Head. Mottled toning.
601 1929 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Full head.
602 1929-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Virtually Full Head and very scarce as such, (see color
photo)
603 1929-S CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Full Head. Essentially of gem quality.
604 1930 BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) Slight
flatness on the knee, but the head is sharp.
605 1930 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Wholly lustrous; close to a Full Head.
606 1930 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Full
Head.
607 1930 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Full Head. Deliciously original.
(see color photo)
608 1930 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Full head. A second outstanding example, (see
color photo)
609 1930-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Ultra-lustrous. Three-fourths head.
610 1930-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Full head — in fact, one of the best we have
seen of this scarce date. Enchanting golden toning with
patches of yellow and aqua. For the connoisseur, (see

612 1932-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! The best we have ever seen (and we’ve seen a
few)! Here’s a coin with an unlimited future-it is the
key member of a current and popular series; it possesses
unsurpassable quality; it is not yet unaffordable; and it
is unquestionably original and genuine. No amount of
money could guarantee the location of a nicer specimen,
(see color photo)
613 1932-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) An
original, lustrous specimen.
614 1937-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
615 1950 S Over D CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCU¬
LATED (60 + ) Sharp overmintmark. Coins such as this
are very interesting; it is easy to understand their recent
surge in popularity.
EARLY HALVES
616 1794 VERY GOOD (8) The obverse is pleasant and
evenly worn, with all digits, stars and letters complete.
All lettering is full on the reverse, but the head and
upper right wing of the eagle are worn smooth. A pre¬
sentable example.
617 1795 VERY GOOD (8) 0-1 10, R-4.
618 1802 VERY FINE (20) A bit hazy in appearance.
Scarce.
619 1803 Large 3 FINE (15) One flat spot, possibly a file
mark, on the reverse rim. Not really a detrimental fac¬
tor, however.
620 1803 Large 3 VERY FINE (20)
621 1805 VERY FINE (30) Peculiar surfaces, probably dull¬
ed by multiple cleanings. The edge lettering is indistinct.
622 1805/4 FINE/VERY FINE (15 + ) The bold overdate
has always been a favorite of collectors.
623 1806 VERY FINE (30) Knobbed 6, Stem through Claw.

Several small digs on the obverse rim.
628 1806 BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) Pointed 6,
Stem through Claw. Lustrous and semi-prooflike. Quite
sharply struck for the type. Attractive peripheral toning.
Two parallel scratches on the shield, each about the
width of a horizontal shield line and less than !4” long.
Another comma-shaped scratch between M and E of
AMERICA. Unfortunate defects, but the fact remains
that this is a rare and desirable early type coin, (see color
photo)
629 1807 VERY FINE/EXTREMELY FINE (35 + ) Lovely
peripheral toning. Some luster remains on prooflike sur¬
faces. (What a dazzler it must have been when it was
minted!)
630 1807 Bust Left VERY FINE (20) 50/20 C. A scarce
variety of a scarce date.
631 1810 ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (50) Sharp and

collector, (see color photo)

641 1838 EXTREMELY FINE (40)

ed throughout. Very scarce.

tractive, toning.
665 1877-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED

A finely hairlined, prooflike business strike.
669 1880 EXTREMELY FINE/ALMOST UNCIRCULAT¬
ED (45 + ) Toned.
670 1880 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! To describe adequately the intense beauty of
this jewel is no easy task. The shimmering, semi¬

struck and phenomenally lustrous. Full wire rims. An
incredible coin that is worth whatever one must pay to
get it. (see color photo)

issue.

680 1894 GEM PROOF (65 + ) Superb! A virtually perfect

trasted against fields of unfathomable depth. As fine a
representative of Charles E. Barber’s work as we have
ever offered. A true numismatic treasure, (see color
photo)

modity. (see color photo)
684 1896 CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55 + )
Practically mint state.
685 1 898 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
An affordable and attractive type coin.
686 1898 CHOICE PROOF (60 + ) Lovely cameo effect.
Trivial hairlines prevent placement in the gem category,
(see color photo)
687 1900 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Lustrous; well struck.
688 1900-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Vastly underrated in this exciting condition.
Fully struck. Worthy of a premium bid. (see color
photo)
689 1902 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
690 1903-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) At¬
tractive golden toning. Rare in mint state, (see color
photo)
691 1904 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Vir¬
tually superb, with sparkling prooflike fields that are
free of the hairlines and tiny injuries that most often ac¬
company such fragile surfaces. The strike, simply put,
could not be better, nor could any more luster be pre¬
sent. In many instances, the characteristic of being
prooflike does not necessarily add to a type coin’s
desirability. However, such is not the case with this glit¬
tering example, (see color photo)
692 1906 EXTREMELY FINE (45) Lustrous.
693 1906 GEM PROOF (65) Golden toning, (see color
photo)
694 1907 BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) Nearly
choice.

Barber Halves (cont'd)
695 1907-D BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) Sharp
and lustrous.
696 1908-D CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55 + )
Beautiful toning, especially on the reverse. Lustrous.
697 1908-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Fully lustrous and well struck. Excellent for type, (see
color photo)
698 1908-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Exceptional striking; full brilliance. One tiny reverse rim
dent. Still worthy of a premium bid.
699 1908-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Fully struck; exquisite satin surfaces. Superb by most
standards, and likely the finest available on today’s
market. A “sleeper” date in the Barber Half series. We
would not be surprised to see this rare and beautiful
coin record a four figure winning bid! (see color photo)
700 1909 GEM PROOF (65) Gorgeous toning, with the
obverse being deeper than the reverse.
701 1910 ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (50) Scarce.
702 1912-D CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + )
703 1913 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Looks remarkably like, and may be, the
Bauman specimen sold by Stack’s several years ago.
One of the nicest, warmest, most pleasing Barber Halves
we’ve seen. Fully struck, Quite rare. The new owner will
surely consider himself fortunate to have won this prize,
(see color photo)
704 1914 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Sharp
and lustrous. The lowest mintage of the entire series.
Seldom offered in mint state, (see color photo)
705 1915-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Wholly lustrous, well struck and free of significant
injury, (see color photo)
706 1915-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) A
beautiful, frosty example. Lightly toned. Nearly superb.

Lovely toning. An obviously original example, (see
color photo)
712 1916-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) A
fully lustrous and incredibly well struck specimen. A key
date that is seldom found this nice. The superior strike

satin surfaces. Worthy of a generous bid. (see color
photo)

inclusion in a choice set.

color photo)
735 1798 Large Eagle EXTREMELY FINE/ALMOST UN¬
CIRCULATED (45 + ) Very sharp, with virtually full
hair detail. No significant detraction of any type. An ex¬

most Bust Dollars of higher grades, (see color photo)

Morgan Dollars (cont'd)
741 1878 8 Tail Feathers PROOF (60) Pleasing in color and
overall appearance, despite light hairlines throughout
the fields, and some small pin scratches above the motto
“In God We Trust” on the reverse, (see color photo)
742 1878 7 Tail Feathers GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCU¬
LATED (65) Exceptionally frosty. A light scrape or two
below the superb level.
743 1878 7 Tail Feathers GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCU¬
LATED (65) Attractive aqua, russet and gold toning on
the obverse.
744 1878 7 Tail Feathers Round Breast GEM BRILLIANT
UNCIRCULATED (65)
745 1878 7 Tail Feathers Round Breast GEM BRILLIANT
UNCIRCULATED (65) Lovely sea green and golden
toning adorns the obverse. A widely collected, major
variety.
746 1878 7/8 Tail Feathers GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCU¬
LATED (65) Prooflike obverse; frosty reverse. Four tips
showing.
747 1 878 7/8 Tail Feathers GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCU¬
LATED (65) VAM 41. Seven tips showing. According
to Van Allen and Mallis, “one of the best examples of
the 7/8 TF, with the ends extending halfway between
the 7TF ends and the top of the bows.” An excellent
strike, with semi-prooflike surfaces.
748 1878-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
749 1878-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike.
750 1878-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Cameo prooflike. Nice mirror fields and creamy white
devices. A few light, scattered bagmarks.
751 1878-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(65 + ) Superb! Prooflike. Reddish-gold toning on
mirror surfaces. Raised, broad rims. A distinctive
Morgan Dollar.
752
1879 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
Prooflike. Deep, reflective surfaces.
(65)
753
1879 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED

obverse shows faint hairlines in the left field.

The

1879-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
Full strike.

755
1879-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
Semi-prooflike. Fully struck.
(65)
756
1879-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Virtually free of bagmarks, although there is
a V-shaped, shallow scrape between “E” and
“PLURIBUS” on the obverse.
757
1879-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
Essentially superb. Fully struck.
(65)
758
1879-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
Spectacular obverse rainbow toning.
(65)
759
1879-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(65)
Gorgeous lavender toning. A solitary mark beneath
Liberty’s eye is all that keeps this beautiful piece out of
the elite “superb” classification.
760 1879-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Semi-prooflike. Violet and golden tones blend together
to make this coin excellent in overall appearance.
761 1879-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) In¬
credibly deep, mirror surfaces. Lovely, natural violet
toning. Although regarded as a common date in proof¬
like, 1879-S is quite scarce with full mirrors as this coin
obviously possesses. In fact, the surfaces on this coin are
as deeply reflective as we’ve ever seen for the date.
762 1879-CC CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Sharply struck from perfect dies.
763 1879-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Well struck. Non-capped mintmark. Some light, golden
toning. A nice addition to any gem set. (see color photo)
764 1880 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Golden reverse toning.
765 1880 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Nice mirrors with considerable cameo effect.
Very scarce and underrated in this condition. A couple
of unobtrusive rim flaws do not appreciably detract.
766 1880-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! A fully struck, cameo prooflike, and thus one
of the finest known. The all-important cheek of Liberty
is virtually mark-free, although there are a few light
abrasions in the left obverse field. These are visible only
because the mirror surfaces are so fragile, and certainly
do not remove the coin from the superb designation.
The reverse is quite close to perfection. Steve Ivy
Numismatic Auctions is delighted to present the first of
eight coins that were used by numismatist Wayne Miller
as plate coins in his masterful work An Analysis Of
Morgan And Peace Dollars. This particular piece is
same as the one shown of Page 77 of Miller’s book. A
signed notarized statement attesting to this fact accom¬
panies the coin.
767 1880-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! A shockingly beautiful, cameo prooflike
obverse combined with a nearly flawless, semi-prooflike
reverse.
768 1880-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Prooflike.
769 1880-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Temptingly close to MS70. Exquisite toning.
The fact that it has semi-prooflike surfaces is secondary
to its overwhelming beauty. A common date, to be sure,
but any Morgan Dollar that exists this near to perfection
is a rarity.
770 1880-CC CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) VAM 4, (80 over 79), R-4. Reverse of ’78.
771 1880-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
VAM 4, 80/79, R-4. Reverse of ’78. Formerly Lot 950
of our Stanford Sale, July, 1977. Worth more today
than the $100.00 it realized then.
772 1880-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike VAM 5, (8/7 High), R-4.
773 1880-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
VAM 6, (8/7 Low), R-4. Semi-prooflike with light
golden toning. Quite attractive.
774 1880-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(65 + ) Superb! Lovely, satiny surfaces, (see color photo)
775 1881 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike obverse; frosty reverse. Fully struck.

776 1881 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Fully struck. A very nice example.
Ill 1881-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike.
778 1881-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Scarce.
779 1881-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Deep, luscious toning of numerous shades,
predominantly aqua and green. The obverse and the
reverse are unusually well matched. Absolutely natural
and instantly eyecatching.
780 1881-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! A virtual 70. Lovely light golden toning upon
glittering prooflike surfaces. A one-in-a-million
Morgan!
781 1881-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
A pleasant specimen.
782 1881-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Nearly superb, with attractive obverse toning.
783 1881-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike, with considerable cameo qualities.
784 1881-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Slightly softly struck.
785 1881-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. As deeply reflective as any seen of this date.
Dazzling!
786 1881-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(65 + ) Superb! Prooflike.
787 1 882 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Prooflike. Light scratch across Liberty’s temple.
788 1882 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Sharp.
789 1882 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Even, golden toning atop shimmering, proof¬
like surfaces. Although the quality of this outstanding
coin is not technically as nice as the superb 1882 in our
Roger M. Turner Sale, (November, 1978), its prooflike
surfaces may enable it to surpass the $420.00 realized by
the Turner specimen. This is the nicest prooflike exam¬
ple of this date we’ve seen. Quality such as this coin
possesses is becoming increasingly difficult to find on
today’s market, (see color photo)
790 1882-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Light, scattered abrasions on the mirror sur¬
faces.
791 1882-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) A
nuance of toning and relatively mark-free surfaces make
this semi-prooflike example particularly attractive.
792 1882-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Not only is this coin a remarkably injury-free
example of this usually heavily abraded issue, but it is
also an incredible strike. Even the tiniest hair curls are
visible above Liberty’s ear, and each of the eagle’s
breast feathers exhibits a sharp tip. Deserving of a
record price on its own merit. This is the second Wayne
Miller plate coin available in the auction. As with the
others, a signed notarized statement accompanies the
coin.
793 1882-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Wondrous toning on both obverse and reverse.
Very few marks, none of them serious.
794 1882-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Semi-prooflike.
795 1882-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
An attractively toned, nearly superb example.
796 1882-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(65 + ) Superb! Cameo prooflike. Especially pleasing
due to its almost total lack of bagmarks in the obverse
fields, an area in which prooflike coins are often in¬
jured. Worth well over a hundred dollars.
797 1883 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Cameo prooflike, and quite scarce as such. Fully struck.
798 1883 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Vir¬
tually superb. Attractive obverse toning.
799 1883 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Prooflike. Satiny devices and deep gray reflec¬
tive fields. Practically void of noticeable marks. A
superior specimen worthy of a generous bid.
800 1883-S CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Sharp and lustrous.
801 1883-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Mirror surfaces.
802 1883-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. An arc of rainbow toning covers the right
quarter of the obverse.
803 1883-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Cameo prooflike.
804 1883-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Deep mirror Fields. The reverse exhibits a
myriad of fine die scratches that confusingly resemble
hairlines, but they are not. Interesting.
805 1884 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Ex¬
tremely sharp. Semi-prooflike surfaces.
806 1884 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Iridescent, multicolored toning covers the obverse; light
golden toning enhances the reverse.
807 1884-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Cameo prooflike. The contrast between fields and
devices is quite pronounced for this issue. Attractive.
808 1884-S BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) Full
breast and hair detail. Lustrous, with light golden
toning. An attractive, yet affordable, example.
809 1884-S CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Entirely lustrous and frosty. The obverse is fully
gem, with excellent surfaces and full hair detail. If the
eagle had full breast feathers, this piece would become a
major Morgan rarity with a near $10,000 price tag. As
is, it is a totally acceptable borderline gem example that
should sell for several thousand dollars. This coin would
look well in any gem collection, (see color photo)
810 1884-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Breathtaking obverse toning of green, red and gold
hues.
811 1884-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. A few light scrapes on Liberty’s cheek.
812 1884-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Cameo prooflike. The mirror fields are particularly
deep in their reflectivity.

Note: Once again, Steve Ivy Numismatics Auctions is proud to
offer an outstanding group of Morgan Dollars for your
consideration. Our reputation for high quality Dollars
seems to be spreading, for each sale seems to outdo the
previous one! If there is an unfortunate aspect to our
success, it is that we must necessarily decline to place
“ordinary” Dollars into individual lots, or to allow an
excess number of any single date to be offered (Thus
you will find many superb Dollars offered in the latter
part of the catalogue as part of the “Large Lots”). In
some cases we must politely refuse a consignment
because the quality of the coins does not meet our ac¬
customed standards. The net result has been some seem¬
ingly high prices realized for “common” Silver Dollars.
But those who have examined our “common” Dollars
know that their condition has been decidedly uncom¬
mon. Many collectors and investors now realize that in
no other series of U.S. coins is the ratio of surviving tru¬
ly superb coins to the total mint state population so
small. The following lot is a good example. We are con¬
fident that less than one-tenth of one percent of all the
surviving mint state 1885 Morgan Dollars are as nice!
816 1885 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Prooflike. Pleasantly mark-free on Liberty’s
cheek (and throughout the rest of the coin as well!). The
winning bid on this outstanding specimen will surely ex¬
emplify the value of superior quality on today’s market.
817 1885 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Frosty, with alluring, light golden toning. No
serious marks; the obverse fields are particularly free of
injury. A splendid Morgan, (see color photo)
818 1885-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Concentric circles of gold, russet and aqua surround the
frosty centers.
819 1885-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Fully struck, with razor sharp breast feathers.
820 1885-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike obverse. Fully struck and relatively mark-free.
Worth two hundred dollars or so.
821 1885-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Another specimen with a prooflike obverse and frosty
reverse. The obverse displays some cameo effect. Fully
struck.
822 1885-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Semi-prooflike. Fully struck and quite mark
free. Although not quite the equal of our Fabulous
Turner specimen ($925), this coin is nonetheless excep¬
tional and should bring a bid several hundred dollars
over current “bid” levels, (see color photo)
823 1885-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
824 1885-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Frosty. Nearly superb.
825 1885-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Appealing — very, very close to superb quality.

830 1886 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Indescribably delicious obverse toning. Shim¬
mering, prooflike surfaces that are free of the usual
nicks and abrasion. Fully struck. So beautiful that it is
hard to quit looking at it!
831 1886 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Immaculate! Surely this coin was never allowed
to come into contact with other Dollars -it is void of
bagmarks! In fact, the reverse appears to be MS70.
Previously in our R.A. Donovan Sale (Part I), Lot 956,
where it realized $195.00. A higher bid may be necessary
today.
832 1886-0 BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) Above
average strike.
833 1886-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Full strike. The interesting variety with the full
“E” of “LIBERTY” clashed onto the reverse below the
tailfeathers.
834 1886-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Frosty and well struck, with a full breast. The
usual light abrasions for a coin of this grade.
835 1886-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Essentially fully struck. Sparse, scattered bagmarks, not
great enough in number or severity to remove this exam¬
ple from the gem category.
836 1886-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike, and as such, one of the rarities of the Morgan
series. Nearly a Full strike. The shimmering surfaces are
among the nicest ever seen for this challenging date.
Sure to elicit much attention from serious specialists,
(see color photo)
837 1 886-S CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55 + )
838 1 886-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Nice mirror surfaces. No die polishing
marks. This is no doubt one of the more underrated
S-mints in fully prooflike, MS65 condition.
839 1887 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Cameo prooflike. Exceptionally deep mirrors for this
date, which usually is only semi-prooflike at best.
840 1887 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Prooflike. Splendiferous obverse and reverse
toning. Well rounded, virtually mark-free cheek. A
dazzler!
841 1887/6 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike, VAM 2, (7/6), R-5.
842 1887-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Prooflike and always in demand.
843 1887-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Rainbow toning covers over half of the reverse and
about twenty percent of the obverse. Fully struck.

Morgan Dollars (cont'd)
844 1887-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Near superb, with considerable cameo effect.
We have been fortunate to have offered several
1887-O’s of similar quality (MS65, Prooflike) in our
past sales. It is interesting to see how the prices realized
reflect the rising market: C.W. Henderson (Jan., ’78),
Lot 707 at $155.00; R.A. Donovan (April, ’78), Lot 971
at $200.00; Roger M. Turner (Nov., ’78), Lots 718 and
719 at $240.00 and $300.00.
845 1887-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. This date is often encountered as a one-sided
prooflike, but this specimen exhibits nice mirrors on
obverse and reverse. Needle-sharp strike.
846 1887-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Far fewer than the usual number of bagmarks
for this issue. Fully struck.
847 1887-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Lovely gold and russet toning on blazing, semi¬
prooflike surfaces, (see color photo)
848 1888 PROOF (60) Thoroughly hairlined.
849 1888-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Fully struck, with a partial cameo. The
reverse is superb.
850 1888-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Prooflike. The deep mirror surfaces are a bit clouded on
the reverse. Still a superior example of this popular date.
851 1888-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Bold luster and an incredible strike. The
obverse must be considered only semi-prooflike, while
the reverse qualifies as full prooflike. One of the most
attractive of this date ever seen by this cataloguer, (see
color photo)
852 1888-S CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + )
853 1888-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Frosty and well struck.
854 1888-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Brilliant prooflike obverse; frosty reverse. Fully struck.
Another of numismatist Wayne Miller’s plate coins
from An Analysis of Morgan and Peace Dollars as
shown on page 108. Like the other plate coins in this
sale, a certified statement accompanies the coin.
855 1 889 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Mottled toning.
856 1 889 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Gray
brilliant prooflike obverse; frosty reverse.
857 1889 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. The deep mirror fields accentuate the scat¬
tered abrasions. Quite scarce.
858 1889 CHOICE PROOF (60 + ) A lovely cameo coin that
is a few faint hairlines away from a gem grade, (see
color photo)
859 1889-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Semi-prooflike. Fully struck.
860 1889-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Well struck, with somewhat semi-prooflike surface.
861 1889-S CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55 + )
862 1889-S CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Semi-prooflike. The obverse is peppered with
tiny bagmarks.
863 1889-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Splendid obverse toning which was probably
caused by the folds of a paper wrapper, the outlines of
which can be discerned on the coin’s surface. The hues
are various shades of russet, yellow and green.
864 1889-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Luscious gold and russet toning. The reverse is
particularly attractive. An excellent opportunity for the
connoisseur of fine Morgans, (see color photo)
865 1889-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! A fantastic third example! From a technical
standpoint, the finest of the three. Subdued, natural
toning that is well matched on the obverse and reverse.
The total number of bagmarks on the superb 1889-S’s
offered in this sale does not nearly equal the number
usually found on one piece! (see color photo)
866 1890 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Magnificent obverse toning. No longer considered a
common date in gem condition.
867 1890 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. The mirror surfaces are a bit cloudy. Very
scarce.
868 1890-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Semi-prooflike.
869 1890-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Sharp.
870 1890-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Very scarce and popular.
871 1890-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike.
872 1890-CC CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Prooflike. Deep mirrors.
873 1890-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Nice strike.
874 1890-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Milling mark on Liberty’s cheek.
875 1890-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. The surfaces are virtually 100% reflective.
876 1890-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
VAM 4, Tail Bar, R-5. One of the most popular of all
Morgan Dollar varieties, and very difficult to locate in
mint state. This attractive, semi-prooflike specimen is
the best seen to date — it nearly qualifies as superb. Cer¬
tain to gain widespread attention, (see color photo)
877 1891 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) A
pleasant, well struck, frosty example.
878 1891 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Impeccable satin surfaces adorned with even,
light violet toning. Fully struck. More bagmark free
than any other specimen seen. Worthy of a generous
bid. (see color photo)
879 1891 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Exuberant mint frost. Radiant, semi-prooflike
surfaces. Well struck. Excruciatingly tough to locate in
this condition. This is the coin show on page 117 of
Wayne Miller’s An Analysis of Morgan and Peace
Dollars. Like the other plate coins in this auction, a
notarized statement from Lewis and Clark County,
Montana is included with the coin, (see color photo)

Morgan Dollars (cont'd)
880 1891-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Above average strike.
881 1891-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Typical strike.
882 1891-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Semi-proofike. Almost fully struck.
883 1891-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Tendency toward semi-prooflike surfaces. Above
average, but not full, strike.
884 1891-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Dazzling, vibrant mirror surfaces! Virtually
fully struck. There is definitely some contrast between
devices and fields, though not quite enough to qualify as
a full cameo. Easily a rarity-9 item. The only other gem
prooflike offered recently was Lot 831 of our R.A.
Donovan (Part II) Sale (July, ’78) at $950.00. A Choice
BU with mirror fields realized $780.00 in Part I of
Donovan in April. This outstanding specimen should
eclipse the four figure mark, (see color photo)
885 1 891 -S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike.
886 1891-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike.
887 1891-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Gorgeous peripheral toning surrounds golden
centers.
888 1891-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! A pristine jewel, (see color photo)
889 1891-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Semi-prooflike. Attractive peripheral toning on the left
side of the reverse.
890 1891-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
891 1891-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Unusual obverse toning that contrasts a turquoise
periphery with a greenish-gold center.
892 1892 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
893 1892 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Above average strike.
894 1892 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. The mirror surfaces are covered with aqua
and golden toning of medium density. Fully struck, with
sharp, separated breast feathers. Extremely scarce in
this condition. The consignor interestingly acquired this
coin through a Campbell Soup promotional offering in
the late 1 950’s. The original cardboard holder accom¬
panies the coin, (see color photo)
895 1892 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Fantastic mint frost. The most brilliant and
lustrous example of this date seen to date. Similar in
many respects to the superb specimen that realized
$650.00 over a year ago in our Henderson Sale. This is
actually one of the toughest Philly mint Morgans to find
in superb condition and, in our opinion, is rarer than
the 1893 in true gem condition. The serious collector
should allow his bid to approach the four figure level if
he hopes to secure this numismatic prize, (see color

1892-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Gray brilliant prooflike. Mirror fields. Above
average strike. Of immense importance to prooflike
Morgan Dollar collectors. This is by far the most reflec¬
tive example of this rarity-10 item we have offered. The
only specimen superior to it that we have seen in recent
years belongs to a prominent Midwestern collector. This
piece is better than the BU (60) prooflike that brought
$575.00 in our Donovan Sale (Part I) in April, ’78. For¬
tunately, there are no serious bagmarks. Would fit nice¬
ly into any gem prooflike set.
1892-0 GEM BRILLIANT
Almost fully struck.
UNCIRCULATED (65)
1892-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Fully struck, with sharp breast feathers. A premium
quality coin.
1892-S CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) A virtual gem with glittering, prooflike surfaces.
Fully struck, with sharp, pointed breast feathers and
practically complete hair detail above Liberty’s ear. The
reverse is nearly superb — no mentionable detractions
at all. On the obverse, a small cluster of very shallow
marks on the lower portion of Liberty’s neck and a
solitary, overlookable milling mark on her cheek are the
only imperfections. Quite a pleasing piece overall, and
one that is certain to attract much attention from serious
Morgan Dollar enthusiasts. ANACS #E-2259-A. (see
color photo)
1892-CC BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60)
Somewhat lackluster.
1892-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Semi-prooflike. Attractive pastel toning on the reverse.
Fully struck.
1892-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Sharp. No major marks.
1892-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Semi-prooflike. A glittering piece which nearly reaches
the superb level, (see color photo)
1892- CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Sharp strike. Formerly Lot 1027 of our R.A.
Donovan Sale (Part I), April, 1978. (see color photo)
1893 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Frosty.
1893 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) A
very sharp and brilliant example of this popular date.
1893 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Abundant luster, (see color photo)
1893- 0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Well struck; nice luster and color. An honest,
natural choice example of a very challenging issue.
Although not a gem, this coin needs no apologies for its
quality.
1893-S VERY FINE (25)
1893-CC CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Semi-prooflike. Softly struck above Liberty’s
ear. (see color photo)
1893-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Fully struck, an unusual quality for this farewell issue of
the Carson City Mint.
1894 CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55) No
problems. Scarce grade.

Morgan Dollars (cont'd)
914 1894-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Full strike! Small cut on the eagle’s breast. Worth a
premium due to its uncharacteristic sharpness, (see color
photo)
915 1894-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Essentially fully struck. Doubly desirable for its abun¬
dant luster and lack of significant marks. As collectors
and investors have realized the degree of rarity of this
date in gem condition, it has risen dramatically in price.
However, the increased value did not instigate the ap¬
pearance of an appreciable number of coins on the
market, (see color photo)
916 1 894- S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Ex¬
cellent strike and luster. Semi-prooflike reverse.
917 1894-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) A
frosty, fully struck, nearly superb specimen. Eminently
collectible.
918 1895-0 EXTREMELY FINE (45) Some luster. Small
cut on Liberty’s chin.
919 1895-S ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (50) Surfaces that
remain remarkably lustrous and prooflike for a coin of
this grade. An excellent, problem free example.
920 1895-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Full mint frost. A pristine, well struck example of this
date. Becoming increasingly difficult to locate, (see
color photo)
921 1895-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Gleaming prooflike surfaces with some cameo
contrast. Fully struck, (see color photo)
922 1896 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Vir¬
tually superb; semi-prooflike.
923 1896 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) En¬
chanting toning.
924 1896 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Love¬
ly prooflike surfaces. Straddles the dividing line between
gem and superb.
925 1896-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Well struck.
926 1896-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Fully struck and lustrous. A presentable
specimen of this difficult issue.
927 1896-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Temptingly close to gem because of its attractive
color. Light toning covers the mark-free surfaces, with
some splashes of more intense color about the
peripheries. Not fully struck, but definitely above
average. Worth near a gem’s price.
928 1896-S ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (50)
929 1896-S CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55)
The reverse is mint state; the obverse has been cleaned.
930 1896-S CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Sharp, and close to gem quality.
931 1897 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Superb were it not for some tiny black spots on the
obverse.
932 1897 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike.
933 1897 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Brilliant prooflike. Marvelous, reflective sur¬
faces.
934 1897 CHOICE PROOF (60 + ) Light cleaning is
evidenced by faint hairlines, (see color photo)
935 1897-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Fully struck and wholly lustrous.
936 1897-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Sharp.
937 1897-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Another sharply struck example.
938 1897-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Very close to gem, with shimmering, semi-
prooflike surfaces. Full breast feathers and nearly full
hair detail above Liberty’s ear. A hint of peripheral ton¬
ing enhances the overall appearance. Worthy of serious
consideration, (see color photo)
939 1897-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike.
940 1897-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike.
941 1897-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Another with deep mirror surfaces.
942 1897-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Impeccable semi-prooflike surfaces. Subtle ton¬
ing that transfixes the viewer’s attention. The reverse is
essentially MS70. A coin so beautiful that its date and
mintmark become incidental in estimating its value, (see
color photo)
943 1898 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Mark
free, mirror fields. Light scrape in Liberty’s hair above
her forehead.
944 1898 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike.
945 1898 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Exquisite natural toning on both obverse and
reverse. Morgans of this quality have consistently
brought solid three figure bids. No bagmarks are ap¬
parent on this incredible Dollar! (see color photo)
946 1898 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! A brilliant prooflike example with as much
cameo effect as we’ve seen for this date. Mirror fields
rippling with luster. No mentionable marks whatsoever.
This coin traces its pedigree to Wayne Miller who used it
to illustrate this particular date in his classic work An
Analysis of Morgan and Peace Dollars. A signed
notarized statement accompanies the coin and attests to
this fact.
947 1898-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Superb cameo reverse.
948 1898-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Deep mirrors.
949 1898-S CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Kept away from the gem grade by some fine
hairlines on Liberty’s cheek.
950 1898-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Frosty.
951 1898-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Sharp.

952 1898-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Considerable cameo effect on the obverse.
953 1898-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! A rival to the fabulous near-70 specimen that
brought $1,000.00 in our Roger M. Turner Sale last
November. It has no appreciable marks and is the proud
possessor of lovely toning of aqua and golden shades.
Fully struck, though not quite as sharp as the Turner
coin. It should nonetheless do almost as well, (see color
photo)
954 1899 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Semi-prooflike.
955 1899 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Fully struck, with deep mirror fields.
956 1899 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Deep mirror surfaces. So well struck that a
partial wire rim is evident.

(see color photo)
960 1899-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Wondrous peripheral toning. Quality such as
this in the Morgan series is rare, (see color photo)
961 1899-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
962 1899-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike.
963 1899-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Although this issue is often seen in gem condi¬
tion when found at all, hardly ever does one find an ex¬
ample with such a remarkable combination of qualities
such as this coin possesses: Mirror surfaces, a total lack
of consequential marks, exquisite peripheral toning and
a razor-sharp strike. Sure to set a record price, (see color
photo)
964 1900-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Prooflike. A myriad of die striations, as often
seen on prooflikes of this date.
965 1900-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Prooflike. Deep mirrors, with not as many of
the aforementioned striations visible.
966 1900-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Virtually superb. Frosty.
967 1900-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )

the collector who likes brilliant, struck, untoned Dollars
with no bagmarks. (see color photo)
968 1901 BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) Extremely
well struck. Quite lustrous.
969 1901 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Vir¬
tually fully struck with blazing luster. A few tiny
bagmarks on the cheek are all that prevent a superb
classification. A rare opportunity, (see color photo)
970 1901-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike.
971 1901-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Prooflike.
972 1 901 -S CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Semi-prooflike, and scarce as such. Fully struck.

973 1 901 -S CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED

Superb! Very similar in quality and appearance to the
Turner specimen at $400.00. Spectacular! (see color
photo)
979 1902-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Technically superb, but needs a bit more
character. Worthy of a premium bid.
980 1902-0 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) A
brilliant prooflike that exhibits unusually deep, reflec¬
tive fields for this date. Not at all easy to find in this
state.
981 1902-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Considerable obverse bagging, but sharpness and semi¬
prooflike surfaces retrieve it from the choice level.
982 1902-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Frosty.
983 1902-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Light golden obverse toning; the reverse is
splashed with shades too numerous to list. Fully struck.
984 1902-S GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Shimmering, semi-prooflike surfaces that
tempt one to consider this coin’s supreme rarity with
mirror surfaces and dub them fully prooflike. In any
case, a fully struck example that would complement any
collection, be it primarily frosty or prooflike. Still
another of Wayne Miller’s plate coins from his reference
work An Analysis of Morgan and Peace Dollars. A cer¬
tified statement signed by Miller is included with this lot.
985 1903 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Gray
brilliant prooflike.
986 1903 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Prooflike. Nice mirrors for this date.
987 1903 GEM PROOF (65 + ) It is indeed a pleasure to
offer once again this beautiful specimen from our C.W.
Henderson Sale (January, 1978). It was described
therein as: “Superb! One of the most beautifully toned
coins of any type or denomination that we have ever
seen. There are too many vivid shades to enumerate.
The obverse and reverse are well matched. A splendid
coin.” (see color photo)

Another atypically sharp example.

1 883 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Semi-prooflike. According to Breen, “Very rare in all
grades, nearly as rare as the 1881; usually seen in VF or
thereabouts.” ANACS #4876. (see color photo)
1883 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Pro¬
hibitively rare in this condition. No doubt one of the
finest known. Akers regards MS65 examples as “extre¬
mely rare”. This fully struck, semi-prooflike specimen
has no detracting blemishes worthy of mentioning. The
rims and edges are perfect. Truly an outstanding oppor¬
tunity, and one of the highlights of this sale, (see color
photo)
HALF EAGLES
1208 1810 EXTREMELY FINE/ALMOST UNCIRCULAT¬
ED (45 + ) Splashy coppery toning. Attractive, (see

1209 1810 CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55)
Lustrous, prooflike surfaces which are void of
noticeable marks. Sharply struck. Very appealing, (see
color photo)
1210 1810 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) A
frosty and original specimen. Worthy of the advanced
collector’s serious consideration, (see color photo)
121 1 1813 CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55) Well
struck, with nice luster and color. A fine representative
of the scarcest major type of 19th Century Half Eagles,
(see color photo)
1212 1814/3 ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (50) Sharp and

Half Eagles (cont'd)
1215 1836 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! Unquestionably one of the finest known of the
entire Classic Head Half Eagle series. Warm, natural
2 ) color. Satiny, immaculate surfaces. Fully struck, with
each star, hair curl, shield line and feather completely
defined. The luster is shimmering and unbroken.
Many gold type collectors have expanded their
horizons to include early major types of U.S. gold
coins. After “waltzing” through the basic twelve piece
type set, however, quality becomes a problem. The
Liberty Head, No Motto, coinage is challenging, as is all
of the Classic and Bust material in mint state condition.
When a gem of any of these types of gold coins has
come upon the market, a record price is often set. Only
one type set can house this outstanding example we
offer here. Only one person can revel in the pride its
ownership will bring. Who that person is, and what
price he has to pay, remains to be seen, but we would
not be surprised at all to see the bidding around the five
figure area, (see color photo)
1216 1857 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Scarce, both as a date and as a type, (see color photo)
1217 1858-C CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55)
Fully struck! Lustrous and pleasing, (see color photo)
1218 1 861 -D VERY FINE/EXTREMELY FINE (35 + ) One
of the great rarities of the Half Eagle denomination.
Light, even wear. Excellent planchet. A thin scratch
beneath the eagle’s beak is mentionable only for sake of
future pedigree verification. Struck in the waning days
of the historic Dahlonega Mint, the few hundred which
were released were eagerly circulated. An exciting op¬
portunity. (see color photo)
1219 1870-CC VERY FINE/EXTREMELY FINE (35 + )
What a privilege to offer the rarest Dahlonega Half
Eagle, followed by the rarest Carson City Half Eagle!
Although not quite fully EF, this problem free specimen
nonetheless ranks high among the condition census. All
early Carson City gold was very heavily circulat¬
ed — paper money was scarce and earned little respect
in any case. Trade was expedited by using privately
minted gold coins; even Quarter Dollar and Half Dollar
gold coins were used. But, when available, U.S. gold
coins were the best way to have your money. Imagine
the hundreds of different pairs of eager hands that
handled this piece! The personification of our history is
nowhere more evident than in a coin such as this, (see
color photo)
1220 1877-CC CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED
(55 + ) Unknown in full mint state. This specimen is very
close and may be the finest known. Particularly sharp
for a product of this mint. Lustrous and very pleasing,
with semi-prooflike surfaces, (see color photo)

Superb! Perhaps the best Liberty Head Half Eagle
we’ve ever offered. Unsurpassable in every respect.
Runaway potential, (see color photo)

1227 1906-D GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
(see color photo)
1228 1907-D CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55 + )
1229 1908-S CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55 + )
Lustrous and pleasing. Scarce in all grades. Especially
desirable in this condition, since mint state examples,
when found, are prohibitively expensive. Catalogues
$675.00 in EF (40) and $2,000.00 in MS60. (see color
photo)
1230 1909 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
A virtual gem example of this slightly better date.
1231 1909-0 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) The nicest example of this key date that we have
ever offered. The only superior specimen that we know
of sold for $10,000.00 over a year ago. This piece is ex¬
ceptionally well struck, with a sharp mintmark. Dozens
of times rarer in mint state than the 1929. The person
desirous of a complete set of Indian Half Eagles should
take advantage of this opportunity. The successful bid
will probably be in the mid four figure range, (see color
photo)
1232 1910-S CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Another scarce Indian Half Eagle in a high
grade. Breen states: “Rather infrequently seen in strictly
mint state with sharp S”. The mintmark on this
specimen is full and clear, as are all details. A rare
chance for the specialist, (see color photo)
1233 1911 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
(see color photo)
1234 1912 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
Lustrous.
1235 1912 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
1236 1912 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! One of the finest we have seen of ffilsType. A
mate to the fabulous 1909 that brought $1,250.00 as
part of our R.A. Donovan Sale (April, 1978). With the
increased recognition of how rare a truly superb
member of this series is, this pristine example should do
even better. For a premier type set. (see color photo)
1237 1913 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Totally original; well struck. A nearly superb, glittering
example. Full, well rounded cheek. Beautiful! (see color
photo)
1238 1913-S ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (50) Scarce.
1239 1914 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Ex¬
cellent strike and surfaces. Fully lustrous, with a plea¬
sant, original appearance. Rare and underrated in this
condition. Worth near a four figure price, (see color
photo)
1240 1916-S CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Extremely sharp. Full feathers on the eagle’s up¬
per wing. The mintmark is as sharp as is ever encounter¬
ed. This lustrous and pleasing item represents yet
another unusual opportunity to acquire a key member
of this popular series, (see color photo)
EAGLES
1241 1795 EXTREMELY FINE (40) Twelve leaves below
eagle. Remarkably free of problems — no serious sur¬
face blemishes and no adjustment marks. About half of
the eagle’s breast feathers are visible (as many as are
sometimes seen on near mint state examples). A rare
and historic numismatic showpiece, (see color photo)

Very nearly mint state, with excellent semi-prooflike

1244 1881 CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60 + )
1245 1890-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Excellent strike, color and luster. Extremely rare and
one of the most underrated members of the series in
mint state. Few as nice as this pristine specimen survive
from the scant mintage of 17,500. We note one retail
advertisement at $850.00, a very fair price, when one
consider’s this coin’s true rarity. Probably twenty-five
times rarer or more so than the 1891-CC. Excellent for
an investment portfolio.
1246 1891-CC CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Full strike; just starting to tone. Quite attractive.

1276 1913 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65 + )
Superb! A candidate for MS70. Easily the finest

1305 1 884-CC BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) Sharp.
1306 1 884-CC CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED

sample of Carson City craftsmanship, (see color photo)

common.
1308 1893-CC CHOICE ALMOST UNCIRCULATED (55)
Prooflike.
1309 1893-CC CHOICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(60 + ) Essentially a gem, and worth more than the
MS60 catalogue listing of $1,600.00. The mystique of
Carson City and its coinage ensures a perpetual demand
for this investment, (see color photo)
1310 1893-CC GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED
(65 + ) Superb! Incredible surfaces for any Liberty
Double Eagle, let alone for a Carson City issue. This
outstanding coin should receive spirited bidding from
advanced collectors and astute investors. Quality and
rarity such as this rarely coincide, (see color photo)
1311 1900 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
1312 1907 High Relief Wire Rim GEM BRILLIANT UN¬
CIRCULATED (65) An important standard for a High
Relief’s desirability is its color. As well as possessing un¬
surpassable quality in that category, this splendid
specimen also boasts a full strike and excellent surfaces.
For all intents and purposes, a superb coin that is wor¬
thy of a bid commensurate with its superior condition,
(see color photo)
1313 1907 High Relief Wire Rim GEM BRILLIANT UN¬
CIRCULATED (65 + ) Superb! A premier example of
our nation’s loveliest coin. As near to MS70 as any
other we’ve ever seen! Not one significant mark can be
found on the satiny surfaces. Even the high wire rim is
unharmed. Outrageously beautiful color and luster.
Consigned simultaneously with the preceding lot; the
pair has undoubtedly been together since soon after
their minting. What could be a better investment than
the highest quality example available of numismatics’
most-in-demand coin? Worthy of a five figure bid. (see
color photo)
1314 1909 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) A
lustrous, wholly original specimen witn unmistakably
natural toning. A rare and underrated date. The current
\YV Guide Book listing is ludicrous and, in any case, is only
for an MS60. Wholesale records of at least $1,500.00
more accurately indicate market value. Often a weakly
struck issue, this specimen is sharp, with full breast
feathers and a sharp nose on Liberty’s face, (see color
photo)
1315 1909 9/8 BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (60) A
lustrous example of this popular overdate.
1316 1910 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65) Full
strike. Slightly better date.
1317 1912 GEM BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED (65)
Scarce, as indicated by the $1,500.00 price realized by a
superb example in our Turner Sale (November, 1978).

Steve Ivy Numismatic Auctions, Inc.
We get you the highest
price for your money.
When you sell a com, there’s fust
one thing you want’ the highest
price possible.
To get the highest price possible,
there’s just one consistently
reliable source to turn to: Steve Ivy
Numismatic Auctions, Inc.
Our goal is to produce, time after
time, the one thing you’re
interested in the highest possible
prices for your coins.
To do that, Steve Ivy Numismatic
Auctions goes wherever the
money is.
Through the most professional and
sophisticated merchandising and
advertising program in the
numismatic industry.
With advertisements in Coin World,
Barrons, The Wall Street Journals. Ads
that reach buyers everywhere. Ads that
sell your coins. Ads that increase the
number of mail and floor bidders to give
you the best chance of realizing the
highest possible prices.
With all-color auction catalogs sent to
thousands of buyers across the nation. We
were the first and are still the only
auction company to produce all-color
catalogs. Color highlights your coins,
attracts the eye of the bidder and brings
out details that might pass unnoticed in a
black and white catalog. Color gives your
coins a much better chance of selling at
the highest possible prices.
With CompuBid™, a Steve Ivy
Numismatic Auctions exclusive.
CompuBid™ is a highly advanced
computerized innovation that allows each
bidder to maximize his bidding dollars.
Again, CompuBid™ is still another
Steve Ivy Numismatic Auctions, Inc.
feature that helps you to realize the
highest possible prices for your coins.
With ads. With all-color catalogs.
With new ideas like CompuBid™. With
the most effective mailing list in the
numismatic marketplace. Getting to the
most interested buyers in the country
with your coins. Because that's where the
money is. . . for you and us.
Through consistent, highly
comprehensive, well structured,
unreserved auctions.
Many auction houses have auction sales
that are glutted with multiples and are
assembled in an unorganized and
cluttered manner. Oftentimes, your coins
are graded by several different people,
thereby eliminating the consistency
which is so important to a successful sale.
These facts hurt your chances to compete
effectively for the highest possible prices.
But Steve Ivy Numismatic Auctions are
managed much better. They are
intentionally structured, well organized
and consistently graded to create the
optimum buying environment for your
coins. Our auctions are realistically
competitive, resulting in the highest
possible prices realized for you. Our
auctions are also unreserved, so more
bidders will participate to give you a
better chance of obtaining the highest
prices possible.
At every Steve Ivy Numismatic
Auction, we put competition to work for
you — not against you. Because that’s
where the money is . . . for you and us.
Through major city auction lot
displays.
In addition to showing your coins to
thousands of buying eyes in our ads and
all-color catalogs, Steve Ivy Numismatic
Auctions puts your coins on display in at
least one major coin show in a major city
before they go to auction. This way, still
more people will be able to see your
coins, increasing the number of bids and
increasing your chances of obtaining the
highest prices possible.
From New York to Chicago to Dallas
to Los Angeles, we show your coins in
major cities. Because that’s where the
money is . . . for you and us.
Through short consignment cut-off
dates and timely cash advances.
Because we manage our company
as efficiently as we manage our
auctions, and because we send
all our catalogs by
first class mail, we can offer you a
consignment cut-off date that is very
close to the date for the actual auction.
And if you need money in a hurry, we’ll
make generous cash advances to you
before we put your coins in auction. This
means your coins will be in our possession
for the shortest period of time, and you’ll
have the money to use.
Short consignment cut-off dates and
cash advances. Because that’s where the
fastest money is . . . for you and us.
If you want the highest prices for
your money, then you have to go
where the money is. And the money
is with us.
